Preteen Angst

I know a lot of people here talk about toddlers and babies, but do we have any teen/preteen parents?My kid is about to drive me insane. He's 12.5 and just a BASKET of frikkin sunshine...This morning, after fighting about having "nothing to eat" (i.e. nothing he wants, this day) he settled on cereal, in a cup... logical right? When he was eating it, he somehow spilled about 3/4 of it on himself and all over the floor. I go get him a towel, hand it to him, and he THROWS it on the ground. Then he's like "THESE ARE MY ONLY JEANS, MOM!" When... 2 days ago, I was shopping for the kids, and I asked if he needed any jeans, specifically, since he's been wear one pair for weeks. He said he had a bunch of jeans.So, going on that, when he was angry over literal spilt milk, I go in his room, and find his stuffed-in-a-drawer jeans, and bring him 5 pairs.Of course this is all my fault, why do I have to get mad he spilled cereal (I didn't, I handed him a towel and got him some new jeans).This is just one instance, there have been many over the last few weeks. He has a total disinterest in everything one minute, then he's all about it the next. He told me one morning he hated band, he hated going to sectionals (morning practice), he hated the concerts, blah blah blah, so I asked what he wanted to do instead, and he said he wanted to be in theater. Okay cool. So I call the school, since the semester is coming up, I don't want him to be miserable the rest of the year, to see what can be done. If classes can be moved, if there is room in theater, etc. I get it all squared away where everything will work out swimmingly, and my husband is talking to DS that night, and DS is like "No I love band. I want to stay in it" sigh Okay cool... I'll undo what I just did, nothing was set in stone, but COME ON!!!!Tell me it gets better. Tell me there's a light. Tell me it's soon? Please? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2g1N4dR
